What is Chemical Engineering?

Evolving from chemistry in the early 20th century, chemical engineering was created to manufacture chemical processes on an industrial scale. Since then chemical engineering has been a core technology in industries like oil and natural gas, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, textiles and fibers, and pollution control.

More recently, chemical engineering has contributed to advances in multi-discipline technology, including biomaterials, microelectronics, information displays, and fiber-optic communications.
